Miranda Kinney

REALTOR®

GRI

Miranda’s roots in real estate go back to the eighth grade, when her family moved to Austin from a small East Texas town so that she could attend St. Stephens School. Her mother, Teddy Kinney, a lifelong real estate investor, set out to learn the Austin real estate market through every means available: visiting open houses, looking at new construction, lake lots, acreage and all things related to real estate. Most of the time, Miranda accompanied her on these quests. Little did Miranda know then that she was sowing the seeds for a future career in real estate.

After earning a BA in Communications from St. Edwards University, Miranda worked as a college counselor in private technical schools. This work provided her the opportunity to help students find the programs that best suited their goals and to offer them guidance along the way. They came from every age group and every type of background, but they were all at pivotal moments in their lives when they were ready to make major changes.

Helping clients sell their homes or buy new ones brings her new opportunities to invest in other people's goals and dreams and to help make them possible. Miranda has a unique ability to listen to what her clients are wanting to accomplish, whether it’s assisting them in finding a first home, family home, investment property or if they are downsizing. Miranda understands the Austin market, she knows Austin and the surrounding areas and she is well connected throughout the real estate community.

When Miranda isn’t working with or for her clients she lives in Northwest Hills with her two young daughters. She enjoys time with family and friends, and loves this wonderful city and the life that it affords us all.

Miranda was a consummate professional. She guided us through the process of selling our house quickly and efficiently. Miranda's knowledge of our property and the market combined with her cane attention to detail got us a full price offer in the first three days. From there she handled all the details up through closing in under 30 days. We could not be more pleased, and it will most assuredly be contacting her about our next property.

Miranda was top notch all the way! She quickly understood what my husband and I were looking for and helped zero in on options in our price point without wasting our time. We had a short window to find a house, and Miranda hustled and delivered! She is extremely professional and also made the buying process very fun with her upbeat, outgoing personality. The house we bought had only been on the market a day or so and already had multiple offers. Miranda expertly negotiated a fair and competitive offer that got us the home we wanted! We both feel very grateful and lucky that we found Miranda at Realty Austin. We would recommend her 100% to anyone looking for a home in the Austin area. And we will definitely be calling her again for any future real estate needs.

My “adopted” daughter, Miranda Kinney, is a consummate professional Realtor and dear confidant. She was expertly prepared for her career by her mentor and mother, herself a long-time Austin Realtor/Owner of the Kinney Company in Austin before recently retiring.

Myself, I spent 35 years as a Realtor/Broker in Austin, Houston, and Colorado. Without a doubt, Miranda’s grasp of the business is exceptional! A naturally effervescent and outgoing “friendly as a speckled puppy” confident lady, she draws her clients into her warm space and earns both their trust and loyalty. Her native Texan honesty and straight forward truth speaking are contagious! And believable!

Her asset to your team cannot be underestimated...she will be successful beyond even her expectations. She just can’t help herself! A winner never knows when to quit, or when to exhaust all possible options to serving her clients... and Broker!

Thank you, Miranda. they don’t come any better!

Miranda is the best. She was so patient with me and kept trying to make sure I found the right house at the right price. I would recommend her to anyone. I really appreciated all that she did.

Miranda Kinney is a bulldog who gets the job done. I used her guidance to locate and buy a house in July. She goes above and beyond to get the scoop, present options, and oversee the process. I have to mention, as well, her ethics. After representing me as "the buyer", Miranda remained active and instrumental throughout my subsequent sale of my previous home. She is honest, realistic and, again, ethical in handling these complex, and at times stressful, transactions. Obviously, I don't hesitate to call her for help.

Having worked with Miranda as both the buyers and the sellers, we could not be more thrilled with the results. Her professional yet easy-going demeanor guarantees an exceptional experience at every stage of the process, and her insights reveal the wisdom of years in the market. When selling our home, we received multiple offers, ultimately accepting one 8% above our highest expectation. As buyers, Miranda tailored our offer to the specific needs of the seller, resulting in our selection out of 40 completing offers (and ours was not the highest!).

Whether it be pricing, staging, timing, or any other countless questions, Miranda’s advice is invaluable in getting the most out of the bustling world of Austin real estate. We wouldn’t work with anyone else!

I represented the buyers on a deal with Miranda that could have easily been a disaster with another agent. An old utility easement was found to run under the house. Miranda’s cool head, expertise, and hard work got us through the arduous process of getting the city to release the easement, making the sale possible. Unfortunately, not all agents understand the value of cooperation as well as Miranda. I truly look forward to a chance to work with her again. She is one of the agents who really gets it!

Trust me, Miranda is wonderful. She is interested in what you want, works on your schedule, and brings you many options to choose from all in your price range and your taste. She is punctual, accessible, has impeccably timely follow up, is resourceful, respectful and above all completely trustworthy.

Moving from Chicago area, we were unfamiliar with Austin and wanted to make sure we had an idea of all the neighborhoods and what they had to offer. We have lived in 7 states so we know the house hunting drill but being out of state clients poses many problems. Miranda is a life long Austin resident who grew up with a Realtor mom so she knows the history, the schools, the market and is well connected around town. My wife is a builder’s daughter so she comes with a long check list of features and benefits to evaluate. However, we didn’t know neighborhoods and hadn’t decided whether to be in town, near town or out of town. Miranda initially sounded us out on our wants and dislikes and sent listings asking for our feedback to better gauge what to view on our trips to town. Once we arrived our itinerary was preplanned and full, but obviously flexible to toss out some listing and add newbies when they popped up. We spent many hours driving around, smartphones and bigger maps in hand, making notes while listening to Miranda’s history of the various areas and what to expect on the price of ‘dirt’, the lot sizes and of course the housing prices.

My wife has almost total recall of the myriad of houses we looked at. Miranda is similarly inclined. This allowed for them to quickly zero in on my wife’s wants and dislikes and to find those nuances that tip the balance. Miranda had to work harder with me and made sure to get my input and feelings. She knows the she needs both.

We looked at hundreds of houses online and probably a hundred in person. The house we finally purchased was one Miranda found on her own and encouraged us to fly in the see with lots of her own pictures and descriptions. She was absolutely correct. We are delighted and sure you will be too.

Miranda listened to what we wanted, came up with a strategy, clarified what needed fixing and what didn’t, helped manage contractors, and got the house looking great. We sold in one day, for significantly above asking price.

When we bought, we were particular about what we wanted and where. Miranda didn’t waste our time. Together we found the perfect house and she hustled to make sure that not even a government shutdown kept us from getting it. Best of all, she’s from Austin, and has that great Texas gal charm.
